helio

Thanks for letting me know it isn't just me. Its a bit of a pain, especially when getting it setup and not realising that was the cause... lead me down the rabbit hole a few times. Doesn't seem to matter if its a shutdown from within the OS, or STOP from the web OS or Force STOP.. all tend to prevent any further boots...

**** Edit 2 BIOS was fine but turns out I needed to disable the on-board audio to get HDMI to pass-through. It works now but if I restart the VM, it goes back to the kernel panic message, and the only way I can get it to work again is a full reboot. Is there some way to properly release the cards resources so I don't need to do this??? *** Sorry - I found this after posting and haven't tried it yet (MB BIOS UPDATE). I can't delete my post so just ignore it for now, I'll report back after attempting it: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=45928.msg439076#msg439076 ********** Hi All, Trying my hand at moving the HTPC into the NAS via VM. Got myself a low powered AMD HD5450 and the rest of my hardware should support VM/IOMMU. Info in the web interface shows; M/B: ASRock - Z87 Extreme6 CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled I had trouble initially but after enabling PCIe ACS Override, I can select the card in Graphics Card and get GPU passthrough working. OpenElec boots with GPU passthrough and everything seems ok... Except Audio. IF I select "AMD Cedar HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5400/6300 Series]" in the Sound card, I cannot boot. I get a Kernel Panic error: Unable to handle kernal NULL pointer dereferences at ........ Full screenshot below. Looks like something to do with memory allocation, like the GPU is getting allocated twice or something??? I'm really not sure where to go next. As soon as I set the Sound Card back to none - I can boot normally. Can anyone help?! MANY THANKS!

Could also be your DNS settings Yeah I tried that already but no luck... until 6th time it just worked.. go figure Thanks for you help

Looks like you're correct. If I turn a VPN on I CAN get to https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/balloob/home-assistant/images ... Turn it off, timeout... Gah.. Stupid ISP.

Nah - just plain old straight through ADSL... Australia based...

Weird. Net seems to be working fine for everything else. rebooted everything cant seem to find a problem

Hi Balloob, Thanks for this - looks interesting.. was gonna give it a go but I get the following error on install after dling about 140MB? Unable to find image 'balloob/home-assistant:latest' locally Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.19/images/create?fromImage=balloob%2Fhome-assistant&tag=latest: EOF. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS? The command failed. Any ideas?

oh dear... nothing to see here. move along. /oh the shame

Hey, Thanks for the sparkly toys Small problem with the template for me (kodi headless). I can't click create after filling in all field... I get a "please fill out this field" error in the top left of the page...? Any ideas?

Hi All, I have search but can only find some really old threads that don't seem to be applicable. (e.g. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2953.0). Does anyone know if snmp can be enabled in unRaid? Doesn't seem to be available in stock on a package in unMenu. Does anyone already have this functioning? For the record - I just upgraded to 5.11 Beta. Thanks! Helio.

I am using the Asrock P55 Pro (installed 3 days ago) and no problems so far: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P55%20Pro Once it is bedded down I'll post the syslog etc...

Thanks, but I am assuming we will have to pay for these...? Or will Norcotek send these at no charge to customers who have already purchased the case? Thanks - that softens the blow somewhat. I hope it isn't too long a wait! Edit: there are 50 plus orders from our groupbuy - will this be the case for all of them?

Thanks, but I am assuming we will have to pay for these...? Or will Norcotek send these at no charge to customers who have already purchased the case?

Yep - very poor form. I joined a group buy (50 plus via overclockers) based on the 120mm specs published. Norco decided to do a 'ninja edit' on their specs page a day or two ago. No other notification. I realise the case has 4 extra hot-swap bays - but to be honest the 120mm was the main reason several of us decided on getting the case at all. Not happy.

Well actually the Wiki suggested 1GB for the 20 drive setup. I only went 2GB because i had to get DDR3 and the only 1GB DDR3 was a crappy brand. http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility#20_Drive_Beast I can get 4GB without breaking the bank...If this will make a difference?

Gah! I already got my 4220. Wish I had seen this before hand. Anyone in Aus/Vic want to buy my 4220?

Thanks all again for the help. This is my final list. Turns out that the PCI GC card I thought I had was AGP - so I have gone onboard VGA. Also - tried to find most of it in one store to make it easier. I realise some may be a little overkill - but I am ok with that... as long as it works CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 245 2.9GHz $67 AUD http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=39835 MOBO: Asus M4A88TD-V-EVO-USB3 $137.50 AUD http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=46137 RAM: Corsair DDR3 2GB PC-10600 $55 AUD http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=39455 PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold M800 800W $225.50 http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=47195 Flash: Corsair 4GB "Voyager Mini" USB2.0 Flash Drive $14.30 AUD http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=32092 Cables: 1 x SFF-8087 / SAS to SATA Reverse Breakout Cable $30 AUD 4 x SAS cables ($TBC) PCI SAS adapter: 2 x AOC-SASLP-MV8 (ebay about $260 AUD delivered)

Hmmmm - I guess that probably is a rather large oversight on my part. I have been kinda focusing on Intel. I have also been looking for a minimum of 8 onboard Sata (to put off having to get the AOC-SASLP-MV8), which was probably the other reason I could not find any. Long term that might not be worth it considering I will still need 2 though. I don't care about the manufacturer as long as it works. I will take a look-see. Thanks

Yeah - I wasn't too sure about the whole P55 H55 thing mentioned earlier. If I can go the Intel Core i3 530 I will. Thx - that will save me $120 I am sure you are right -it just seems to be hard to find an available MOBO that isn't overkill and has: - Enough SATA ports - 2 x PCIe x 16 - No other issues (HPA, unsupported LAN etc) I should be able to find one. Somewhere.... You're right - I'll go the i3 as above... I found it in one place... but it is listed @ $216 AUD though - more than the ASUS P7P55D-E PRO. Also for best performance don't I need PCIex16 for the AOC-SASLP-MV8? On a side note - the 4220 arrived... Hooked up the fans to see how loud it was... Ouch! will have to replace them before I get this rig up and running. LOUD! Many thanks for the detailed response ! Cheers, Helio.

Righto - thanks to all for helping me with this. Take 2 Now CPU: Intel Core i5 760 $244 AUD MOBO: ASUS P7P55D-E PRO $206 AUD http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14187&cPath=897#getprice 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 / 8x SATA (6x2 2x3) / Realtek 8112L LAN PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W PSU (Single +12V rail up to 98A / Silent) $229 AUD http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/38016-rs-800-80ga-d3 Question: Enough for 20 HDDs yes? RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR3 $65 AUD USB Flash: Corsair Voyager 4GB $22 AUD Cables x 2: SFF-8087 / SAS to SATA Reverse Breakout Cable ~ $30 AUD each This should let me build up to 8 (using the MOBO SATA ports) before I need the SAS adapter below in a few months. Right? + some video card I have lying about Later SAS PCIe Cards: 2 x AOC-SASLP-MV8 $160 AUD each (delivered off ebay) + 4 x SAS Cable Note: I realise that the CPU might seem a bit of overkill - but it is more a result of the MOBO than anything else. Plus apparently they have low idle power consumption... Thanks! Helio.

Thx bcbgboy13. I'll do a search for both options and see what I can find locally. Appreciate the feedback

Ahh - thx mcs, didn't realise this. Back to the MOBO drawing board again

Hi All, Looking at setting up a 20 Drive unRAID NAS with a Norco 4220 (tried to get a 4020 but no stock in Aus ) It will be for distributed Media (using LinuxMCE) and general NAS use. Hoping someone out there may offer some critique on the choice of components to date Case: Norco 4220 $566 AUD CPU: Intel Core i3 530 $129 AUD MOBO: ASUS P7P55D-E-LX $169 AUD :: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/37947-p7p55d-e-lx Question: MOBO seems to be the hardest. Found similar ones listed on the forums/wiki but not this exact model. I wanted to go Socket 755 but can't seem to find many. This one (LGA1156) has 6 X SATA II and 2 x SATA III, 8112L Gigabit LAN. Should be OK right? PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W PSU (Single +12V rail up to 98A / Silent) $229 AUD :: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/38016-rs-800-80ga-d3 Question: Enough for 20 HDDs yes? RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR3 $65 AUD USB Flash: Corsair Voyager 4GB $22 AUD Cables x 4: SFF-8087 / SAS to SATA Reverse Breakout Cable need to find in Aus some place ~ $30 AUD each SATA Expansion Card x 2: Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8-Port SATA II Controller Card Ebay probably.. $160 AUD delivered HDD: TBC - combination of existing and new. I will be starting with only 6-8 and expanding over time. As such I might delay the purchase of the AOC-SAT2-MV8's if I can. Please let me know if I have missed something or you think an alternate component would be better. Many Thanks!! Helio.

Thanks BRiT. I am assuming I need the following cables "SAS to SATA Reverse Breakout Cable" ref# http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7003.0 Thing is I am also assuming I can't just plug some of the SATA plugs in and leave others empty right? So I would need to make sure that the MOBO had 8 SATA ports if I wanted to use only 6 HDD... if I didn't want to buy a Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8-Port SATA II Controller Card just yet anyway (not a problem I would have had with the 4020). Also - do you know if using 2 SATA II and 2 SATA III MOBO ports on the same Breakout Cable would be a problem? Thanks

Ahh - sorry, I understand now On a side note - looks like the 4020 I ordered is being change to a 4220 due to stocking issues - so I guess I should be looking at SAS not SATA... more $$ to shell out... Thanks for your help.
